After more than a year since our the release of v1.4, it's finally time for the 38th major release of PR:BF2 - v1.5!

​

A new release is around the corner and it's a big one as v1.5 will finally see the release of the Polish Forces! These bring new weapons, vehicles and maps that have been in development for years. Next to that we also introduce some new vehicles and weapons for other factions as well as countless other improvements, fixes and new features. Read all the details below!

We plan to release PR:BF2 v1.5 this weekend, but unforeseen complications could delay it further. Stay tuned to our social media channels and the forums for more information, media, and of course the release. The wait is almost over!

This patch includes some more fixes for the recent v1.5 release as well some other balances and tweaks. We also have some exciting news in the mapping department! Sahel has left the BETA program and is now a fully completed level. We also introduce with v1.5.3 the reworked Iron Ridge featuring the Polish Forces. This map didn't make the v1.5 release but is now ready to be played. Further have we implemented the amazing HD fonts by community modder TBob. Read all the details below.

We would also like to mention that we are aware of a decrease in performance for many users. We don't know at this time the exact reason(s) for this but we are investigating it further. If you want to help with this and other testing, join the testing team!

We are constantly searching for good scenarios to add in the game. Players will definitely recall the April Fools Day mode, in which they were able to spacewalk and control spaceships. This time, we’re introducing a new mode that is based on historical facts from Earth’s history. Nevertheless, this mode is as cosmic and mysterious as the previous one.
We are talking about the well-known battle of Antarctica, also known as Operation Highjump, during which, in 1946, U.S.A. Task Forces went to Antarctica to destroy the remaining bases of the Fourth Reich and capture a new unique armament—flying saucers. However, on March 3, 1947, the squadron was attacked by the enemy and forced to flee. The expedition failed, but 71 years later, players have a chance for a rematch: in the mode, a team of 12 ships will face 12 flying saucers.

Map

Maps with snowfields and glaciers already exist in our game, so for the new scenario we partly used the Islands of Ice map that is already familiar to players. Though, the landscapes and icebergs were slightly changed to provide flying saucers with cover from the ship attacks.

Flying Saucers

In the German archives, our researchers found drawings of the flying saucers series, with innovative electromagnetic gravity engines. In 1935, the Thule Society was looking for a location to test a new powerful armament. The Hauneburg testing ground in Northwest Germany was well suited for this. The project was referred to as the "Hauneburg Device", and later, for security, its name was shortened to “Haunebu”. The early Haunebu was 25 meters in diameter, held a team of 8 people, could reach a speed of 4,800 km/h, and its operation time was 18 hours. According to the documents, a few prototypes were constructed, but later disappeared under mysterious...

Good news, Captains! Our team regularly prepares new ships and gameplay elements and, today, we have decided to surprise our players with a new ship type—combat dolphin!

History of Combat Dolphins

The use of combat dolphins is a historically confirmed fact, but few people know that simultaneous attempts to create small autonomous underwater vehicles in the form of dolphins were made.

It is a known fact that, during World War II, Italy succeeded in employing a group of underwater carriers for transporting combat swimmers with an explosive charge. It was reported that a small autonomous vehicle, known as "Delfino Delphis" in the documents of the main naval headquarters, was designed on a secret base of the Italian naval special forces in the estuary of the Serchio river, not far from Pisa, starting from 1940. The design of the vehicle was based on the results of research conducted in the 1920s–1930s by Guglielmo Marconi, a famous inventor and president of the Royal Academy of Italy, on his own yacht that served as a laboratory. After Italy capitulated in 1943, all project documents and the group of engineers were captured by a German special forces unit SS-Sonderverband z. b. V. "Friedenthal" and moved to the north of the country. There, on Lake Garda, in the area that remained under Mussolini's control, the work on the vehicle continued until the end of the war.

In-Game Model

When developing the dolphin model, we approached the task as we would any normal ship. We gathered a large number of photos and blueprints and took full-scale measurements in dolphinariums. Our "dolphins" are equipped with the most advanced technologies, allowing for high speed and maneuverability. A dolphin with an armament of two torpedoes can even compete with a destroyer....

We want to communicate with our players more, run various activities, Q&A sessions, contests for players, etc. This is why we have decided to launch one united global channel for World of Warships. We hope you will support this decision!
